BAKEBS MATERIAL-GABINET.

Application filed February 55, 1919.

1' b aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, dorm H. JorrNsoN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Santa Barbara, in the county of Santa Barbara and State ofCalifornia, have invented a new and useful Bakers Material-Cabinet, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to material cabinets, being more particularly acabinet for containing materials commonly used in bake shops. In mostshops of this kind the various materials used are scattered about theshop in boxes, barrels and cans, on shelves and similar places, and agreat amount of time is lost in getting the materials together requiredin the preparation of the baking. Then again, as ordinarily no specialprovision is made for the handling of these materials it frequentlyhappens that the materials are spilled about the floor which not onlymakes the place unpleasant to work in but also results in considerable lof terial.

T he principal object of my invention is o make a material cabinet ofsimple form and construction arranged to hold all the materials requiredfor use in preparing pies, cakes, bread and similar articles, and whichmay be used by workers on both sides of the abinet, it being also one ofthe objects to have both sides of the cabinet substantially alike forthat purpose.

Other objects and advantages will be made evident hereinafter.

Referring to the drawings which are for illustrative purposes only,

Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating a cabinet embodying a formof my invention.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section of the cabinet shown inFig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a plan View of the cabinet.

Fig. 4 is an end elevation partly in section of the cabinet.

Fig. 5 is a face view partly in section of a wall cabinet.

Fig. 6 is a plan view of the cabinet shown in Fig. 5, and

Fig. 7 is an end elevation of the cabinet shown in Figs. 5 and 6.

The cabinet is preferably built of wood and consists in general of alower section 11 and an upper section 12, the cabinet being providedwith rollers 13 by means of which the cabinet may be easily moved ifdesired..- The lower section 11 is provided Specification of LettersPatent.

with a top 1s having a flat central portion 15 upon which the uppersection 12 is secured in any suitable manner. The top 1st is provided ateach side of the central portion 15 with a series of covers 16 hinged tothe top as shown at 17, each cover 16 forming the top of one of a seriesof bins 18 on each side of t io cabinet, whici bins are used for flour,sugar, salt, and similar materials.

Under the bins on each side of the cabinet is a series of drawers 19 tobe used for va'iou's. materials such as walnuts, raisins, peanuts,lemons, citron, etc. On one side of the cabinet in the central portionthereof, between the bins and the drawers above referred to, arearranged two boards 20 and 21 which slide into the cabinet in suitableguides 22, these boards being designed to be removable from the cabinetand used for boards upon which to roll cookies, doughnuts and pie dough,after which they are returned to the cabinet.

The upper section 12 is provided with a series of drawer. 2a which arearranged to slide entirely through the cabinet so that access may be hadto such drawers from either side of the cabinet, these drawers havingdrawer pulls 23 of the form having a holder upon which a or rd may beplaced designating the contents of the drawer, it being a common form ofdrawer pull and therefore not shown in detail. These drawers are for thepurpose of containing spices, seeds, baking powders, soda and suchmaterial.

The central part of the upper section 12 is built up to form an elevatedsection 25 having two drawers 26 slidably mounted thercinon each side ofthe cabinet. 30 designates a slide or board slidable through the uppersection between the drawers 24: and the drawers 26. The slide or board30 is operated from either side of the cabinet and is for the purpose ofholding a receptacle (not shown) while being filled from cans orcontainers 31 placed upon a rotatable table 32 mounted upon a verticalshaft 33 which rotatably extends into the elevated section 25 as clearlyshown in Figs. 2 and 4:. It is understood that the table 32 may berotated to bring the can holding the desired material into properposition above the receptacle placed on the board 30 so that the samemay be filled, the board 30 serving for this purpose on both sides ofthe cabinet.

3% designates holders for rolling pins,

such holders being mounted on the upper section in any suitable manner,and designates a rib or ledge formed on the top of the upper section sothat utensils placed thereon are retained from falling from the cabinet.The ribs 35 do not extend to the ends of the upper section, leaving aportion 36 on the top of the upper section at each end of the cabinetclear so that a can may be placed thereon as shown in Fig. 1, the faucetof the can extending beyond the cabinet and in a position to deliver thecontents of the can into a measure 37 supported on a slide 38 mounted inthe end oi the cabinet, there being such a slide in each end of thecabinet for this purpose. There is also arranged a lower slide 40 ineach end of the cabinet for the purpose of holding the tub of materialas shown at one end of the cabinet in Fig. 1. By the above descriptionand drawings it will be readily seen that all of the material requiredby the baker is at hand where it may be economically used and that twocrews may work from the same cabinet, one crew working on each side ofthe cabinet.

On each end of the cabinet are pegs 41 which are suitably arranged toreceive sieves and pans and other utensils used in the shop. In the formof cabinet shown in Figs. 6 and 7 the lower section is provided with aseries of bins 51 each provided with a hinged top 52, there being aseries of drawers 53 under the bins and a pastry board 54, all of whichare similarly arranged to the like parts described in connection withthe preceding figures. This form of cabinet also has an upper section 55having therein a series of drawers 56. 57 designates a board below anelevated section 58 upon which is mounted a rotatable table 59, theelevated section 58 having drawers 60 therein.

61 designates the back of the case upon which is mounted shelves 62,brackets 63 for rolling pins and similar articles, and 6t designates aseries of pegs upon which utensils may be hung. 65 designates a boardslidable into the end of the cabinet and 66 designates a series ofdrawers in the end of the cabinet.

hat I claim is 1. In a cabinet having like sides of drawers and binshaving a rotatable table mount- ,ed on said cabinet, and a boardslidable through the cabinet below the rotatable table arranged toproject outwardly beyond the table when in extended position on eitherside of the cabinet.

2. In a material cabinet having drawers and bins for materials, arotatable table mounted on top of the cabinet, and a board slidablethrough the cabinet below the rotatable table arranged to projectoutwardly beyond the table when in extended position on either side ofthe cabinet.

3. In a material cabinet having like sides of drawers and bins, a lowersection, an upper section mounted on the lower section, a rotatabletable mounted on the top of the upper section and a board slidablymounted in the upper section arranged to project outwardly beyond thetable when in extended position on either side of the cabinet.

e. In a material cabinet having like sides of drawers and bins, a lowersection, a series of bins in the lower section, hinged tops for saidbins forming a part of the top of said lower section, and an uppersection on said lower section between the tops of said bins forming astop for the tops of the bins when in open position.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Santa Barbara,California, this 31st day of January, 1919.

JOHN H. JOHNSON.
